.Catalyst. Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thanks for posting that info. Really close to the mods I'll be running if I go 16G (still torn between that or avoiding the "need more power" urge to get the 68HTA). I'll be doing 850cc injectors though and E85 during the summer. Curious as to what fuel you are tuned for? My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExRex01 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 No worries, I wished there was more info out there when I was researching mine! I'm tuned for 98 RON which is the best pump fuel we can get over here in Oz. Bigger injectors and E85 will be the next step but not for a while now. This increase in power is more than enough to keep me happy for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MFB_ Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Good results Russ! Would you go for a dyno reading now? Envy your MT ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExRex01 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks Mark, no more dyno for a while though... I just spent a bit on the dyno tuning which ended up not being used. I think the Virtual Dyno figures are a pretty good indication of where things are at based on other baseline/dyno runs I have, and the VD graphs mean more to me since all my WOT logo comparisons are done the same way - it's almost a controlled environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be winter fuel and E85 in the summer. Pretty sure a BNR 16G will be in my future. Just getting a clutch done now and then I'll accumulate the last of my supporting mods (DW 850CC injectors, WBO2 and boost gauge, replacement turbo inlet, and I want a CBE).

mmmmspecb Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Going with the 16G, going to reach out to Bryan in the next week or so. I've already got an upgraded oil line so I'm checking to see if that will be acceptable to his warranty so I don't have to fork out $200 if possible. I'll stick with stock fueling for now.

V8Bait Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 How do I tell if I have an upgraded actuator on my VF43 BNR68? I bought it used from a forum member on Nasioc and the owner didnt know. Bren (my tuner) said that my car was acting like I needed the upgraded actuator and I want to make sure I don't already have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCwagon Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 That appears to be a painted stock actuator. The upgraded actuators are visibly much larger. I just swapped mine out on my BNR turbo because of the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrxx Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Alright guys, here's a dynograph from my 08 wrx using BNR 18g BNR 18g Catted turboback 1000cc DW 65c Pump PW TMIC tuned on CA 91 Was hoping for 300-320, but the car feels amazing considering Im coming from the little td04 (not a vf52). http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8992/dynographa.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8Bait Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 That appears to be a painted stock actuator. The upgraded actuators are visibly much larger. I just swapped mine out on my BNR turbo because of the same issue. Does BNR have their own brand of actuator or do they use the AVO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBopper Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 How do I tell if I have an upgraded actuator on my VF43 BNR68? I bought it used from a forum member on Nasioc and the owner didnt know. Bren (my tuner) said that my car was acting like I needed the upgraded actuator and I want to make sure I don't already have one. From the looks of it, it appears to be a OEM actuator (lighter body and solid rod linkage). I have a upgraded actuator from BNR, it's a bit beefier and it has adjustable linkage. Can you pressure test it to see what pressure it actually opens the wastegate? If it opens at approx. 15#, it's the upgraded actuator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExRex01 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 (edited) Not sure if it's any help or relevant to yours, but this is a photo of my BNR EVO3 16g with new BNR compressor cover and 'upgraded actuator' which comes standard now... 0.8 to 1.2bar from memory and set to 13psi when it leaves BNR. http://beanstalk.com.au/personal/photos/FXT/20130225_BNR16G_Arrives.jpg Edited April 9, 2013 by ExRex01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The VF-43 had an OEM actuator. BNR adds their own actuator to the new housings (like in the pic above) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have confirmed with Bryan that I definitely have the stock actuator so I am going to order one today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmmspecb Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Biting the bullet and calling Bryan with payment information today on my 16G! I will be running stock fueling and having Cryo retune the car along with an Avo Tmic. IP&T oil lines are also already on their way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted April 15, 2013 I Donated Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sweet! I love mine and I've heard very few people say they aren't happy with the power level of the 16G... and those who aren't are probably just greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subadozer Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Glad you guys are liking my new products! I am happy to get rid of that damned core program . Bryan@BNR I'm sure it's much better for all involved and I'm truly glad that you've been so successful to be able to do this. Unfortunately I waited too long to get my rebuilt version in and now the bottom has dropped out of the used VF-40 market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
